They throw Molotov cocktails and fire explosive rockets at the police.

At the police or government buildings I get. At privately owned stores less. Unless it's a protection racket. Then thats mob oriented, not communist.
Are they demanding money from you to leave you alone?

The communist groups and official parties are always involved. Union leadership are card carrying, it is an unofficial requirement to get into
the union leadership.

"Communists" from where? Russia? The USSR is dissolved. If "official" and claiming to be communist, then that sounds like deception to me.
Sounds like corporate government facisim. Surely socialist and calling themselves "communist" to deceive? Maybe they want to drive out small
business in order to monopolize it.

For me, I wrestle with the tempests of political controversy in order to calm the storm out the front door.

We must seek clever new strategies in order to defuse this powder keg of civil unrest.

The real answers are freedom and Respect for everyone elses freedom and their property.
By treating each other with basic common decency the vast plethora of our societal problems would begin resolution.

The protesters had forgotten how to bring a community together in solidarity. If the are a loud mob no one will want them around. But had they gifted
their community with service and friendship they would have achieved their goals much more quickly.

no the violence is usually aimed at the law enforcement when they try to break things up. BUT it has spilled over to people who simply did not support
their reasons for a strike and tried to continue with their daily lives....

communists from Spain. If you didn’t know there has been a Deeply seeded communist party here since before the civil war. There are some HARD CORE,
generational communists here in Spain, as well as anarchists. Read up on the Spanish civil war and see how communists from all over the world came
here to 1 fight fascism and 2 try and establish a communist state.

You mix several issues in your OP. First you make references to Spanish reality mixed with the reality of the US, things are not the same and the
culture is completely different especially the history, but down to society and political spectrum, they are just not comparable, so half of the OP is
an incomprehensible haze for those that know a bit about the realities you are talking about.

Now, you call them communists, I think you are probably wrong. In Spain you have a general socialist system with tendencies to corruption but not as
capitalistic (or corporatist) as the US.

You are also a capitalist, you are the boss of your own business, to a point socialism or communism has less interest to you, unless you have
aspirations to advance social equality, or at least social equity (as in Justice, impartiality or fairness). As a business owner you are above the
average in the Spanish social scale (especially considering the number of unemployed today).

Considering that coercion and intimidation is easier that conversion or dialog and that probably only a few members of the mob understand the ideology
(that as I said probably isn't communism as you are attempting to pass it, but leftists never the less).. There aren't really unions linked to right
aligned parties. In any case the tactics are shared across the political spectrum, even the use of the police by the state is about coercion and
intimidation, more than order. MOBs in general are hard to control most unions have extensive plans and include minders to avoid infiltration by other
forces, like the right wing apologists, police force agitators or the extreme left anarchist that can easily create havoc in an orderly manifestation.

If someone doesnt understand an ideology, but yet joins that groups organization, I am afraid they are an embarassment to the movement as the ignorant
are quick to resort to violence and intimidation.

I am in strong opposition to anyone claiming an ideology without actually having one.
They need to just go sit down and read random stuff for a few years or go visit communities and get charity work or something like that going.

It is not dead, and is actually trying to get an official rise to power. Ever since the signing of the constitution after Franco died, in Spain it
became an official party here again.

If you look to any protest you can clearly see their banners held high.

Why would that be an issue of the past?

Do you not know 1 communist? I do, I have 1 communist friend, well, person I grew up with whom I would talk to like a friend. I am not a scared little
capitalist. I probably have many nice customers who happen to be communist I am sure.....it is the extremist of any group that are the problem. In
this case the Marxists communists in social leadership.

Calling them commies is too nice. Worm droppings is more appropriate. You can't blame the union criminals for being uptight. Their racket, extorting
money from business, government, and their members, is coming to an end.

They sound like idiotic anarchists who think they should be able to do ketamine all day and then get the world handed to them. Too many squats popping
up round here filled with delusional know it alls. Talking about changing the world then doing # all apart from lowering the standards. Of course this
must make me a tory boy or something, yet I have no political affiliation...the black and white mentalities of true morons. Fight the Power OP you
evidently have a greater wit than they do...oh and if you dont have it already, get insurance.

You right-wing sh**-heads aren't even trying to hide it anymore are you? Just reading a script from the McCarthyist playbook in as many places as
possible, trying to associate unions with every terrible thing in the world.
